GodBlessMe

I actually really don't like flipside. I have never listened to it all the way through...

I can see u feel very passionated about this! But I definitely agree!!! It's not that deep

Oh my god, you're right! You've COMPLETELY changed my opinion! I love Dark Paradise now, it's my favorite Lana song ever!!! Her lover dies, she goes 2 sleep and dreams about him!! SO MEANINGFUL AND POETIC!!!!!!
 
 
 

Can we please establish that music, and in this case lyrics, are open for interpretation. Lyrics can't be factually "shit", or factually good. Discussing whether lyrics are good or bad is a discussion nobody's gonna win, because there's no definite answer. Lyrics are open for interpretation; you might see something in them that others don't, or you might see nothing at all.

It's kinda the same as saying "when I close my eyes it's dark"

What do you mean this cola performance was flawless!!!

When was the last time you wanted to kill someone?

But she's right. He made it seem like she was suicidal which she clearly wasn't...

Yes the fact that Britney isn't even in the poll is just she is the only singer who is even close to Madonna and besides that she seems so nice and her music is just :flutter: she's is the only singer I stan for besides Lana....

Is This Happiness must be the saddest song ever. I'm crying while listening to it. I'm afraid to sleep because I might get nightmares. I have never ever heard a song that made me feel this way.

God bless you too!!!

Music is subjective!
Except for the fact that DMD is lyrically bad and DP is bad both sonically and lyrically....

They took all the youtube videos of the performance down but not the vimeo ones...

I agree that UV lyrics is better than BTD. But it's not fare to use DP lyrics as an example because that's probably the worst song she have ever made.

Blasphemy

Well done Lana!

My thing.
 
Stars goes from 1-5.
 
Cruel Worl
 
This one of my favorites. I love her vocals and the way she is almost screaming at some parts. I also love the lines "Got you bible and your gun, and you like to party and have fun... Get a little bit of bourbon in ya.... And go crazy". Amazing song and amazing album opener. *****
 
Ultraviolence
 
I really do like the song. I like the production with the piano and the strings and I like som of the lyrics and the speaking part is awesome. However I feel like she had a chance to tell a really great story through the lyrics but she didn't really succeed like she did with Cruel World. ***
 
Shades Of Cool
 
The guitar solo is the best part of the song. It's unbelievably amazing! I do like the line "when he calls, he calls for me and not for you" but I think that the lyrics in this song are some of the weakest on the album. Thematically it's the same as "Sad Girl" and "Pretty When You Cry" but I feel like those songs told the story from a way more interesting perspective. But I think the amazing production makes up for the bad lyrics... ***
 
Brooklyn Baby
 
This is one of my favorites too. The lyrics are very strong and the production is amazing! The male vocals in the end is one of the best moment on the whole album. My favorite lines are "They judge me like a picture book, by the colors like they forgot to read" and "My boyfriends in a band/ he plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed/ I got feathers in my hair/ I get high on hydroponic weed/ my jazz collections rad/ I get down to beat poetry/ I'm a Brooklyn baby"! Such a good and happy song!!!! *****
 
West Coast
 
I love this song too and I fell in live with it the first time I heard it. I love the way it's slows down in the chorus. My favorite line "I can see my baby swinging/ his parliaments on fire and his hands are up/ on the balcony and I'm singing/ ooh baby ooh baby I'm in love". I love the picture it paints and it's one of the only up-tempo songs (West Coast, Brooklyn Baby and Florida Kilos) and is has a good summery vibe. The only bad thing is the mixing which is, in my opinion, horrible....Especially in the chorus. ****
 
Sad Girl
 
This is also one of my favorites. I love how jazzy it is and the her vocals are amazing! The chorus is a bit repetitive but I don't mind because the production and the vocals are so awesome. *****
 
Pretty When You Cry
 
This song is so heartbreaking and sad. It almost makes me cry every time I listen to it. "I wait for you, babe/ that's all I do, babe/ don't come through, babe/ you never do/ cause I'm pretty when I cry". The guitar in the end and her high notes are so good too. ****
 
Money Power Glory
 
This is my favorite song on the album and probably my favorite song ever. I love the guitar in the bridge and her high notes in the chorus are so good. The lyrics are also amazing!!!!! "Freedom comes from the call but/ that's not what this bitch wants/ not what I want at all/ I want money power and glory/ hallelujah/ I'm gonna take them for all that they got".*****
 
Fucked My Way Up To The Tup
 
Amazing vocals again. However I think that the song lacks lyrics and it's way too short. I don't care who it's about because in the end it's the music that counts and nothing else. The "lay me down tonight" part is very beautiful. ***
 
Old Money
 
This song is so beautiful. I like the lyrics all the way through and the production is amazing. I have really missed the strings so I'm glad that they are not totally gone. *****
 
The Other Women
 
In my opinion this song is way too overproduced and a little boring. The vocals are amazing and I do like it but it is definitely one of my least favorites. **
 
Black Beauty
 
It's a lyrically masterpiece and I love how it's different from the leaked version. It's so beautiful and I don't get why it's not on the standard". ****
 
Guns and Roses
 
This is the worst song lyrically. The production is, however, amazing and I love the heavy drums. I just can't stand the repetitive chorus.**
 
Florida Kilos
 
I love the beach/ summer feeling this song has and the lyrics are awesome. Her vocals are kinda weird but is till really like it. ***
 
Is This Happiness
 
This song is so beautiful, sonically and lyrically. My favorite part is the when she sings "you're fucking crazy as the day is long" the way her voice goes from high to low is amazing! The chorus is kinda repetitive but it doesn't matter because her vocals are so amazing. I love the mix of strings and piano.*****
 
Flipside
 
This is probably my least favorite song. I kinda like the lyrics and the production is good aswell it just feels like the melody doesn't go anywhere.... **
 
Overall:
 
This album is my favorite album ever! It's way better than BTD both sonically and lyrically. I'm totally in love with it.

Lolita IS a live story. Maybe not in the conventional way but it is love. It's not meant to show Humberto as a paedophile.

But it is a love story!

OMG you're right...
